Senior Full-Stack Java Developer specializing in banking and healthcare platforms

Hicksville, NY12y exp

“Enterprise-focused full-stack/backend engineer with hands-on experience shipping a production LLM-powered document analysis platform for internal operations teams. They combine cloud-native microservices expertise across AWS/Azure with practical agent-system design, including async orchestration, model routing, observability, and safeguards for hallucinations, failures, and human-review fallbacks.”

“Backend-focused engineer with healthcare and finance experience (Cardinal Health, JPMorgan) who has owned end-to-end data flows powering dashboards, emphasizing strong validation/data quality and measurable frontend performance gains. Has shipped Spring Boot REST APIs with versioning and Swagger docs, and has stood up an MVP task management system with GitHub Actions CI/CD, Docker, and AWS EC2 deployment.”

“Founder of pre-revenue cybersecurity startup Ceyepher Security; has already set up lead-intent sourcing, automated pipeline/CRM analytics, and outbound marketing. Plans to raise capital after landing first clients to demonstrate value via revenue, whitepapers, and customer testimonials; interested in studio support to accelerate sales. Mentions a disability that has enabled significant time honing computer science skills and is open to joining innovative work even outside their own company.”

“Built and deployed an AI Copilot for Healthful Telehealth that helps dietitians generate personalized meal plans using patient data and real-time clinical context. Stands out for owning the full lifecycle—from workflow discovery and ETL/RAG architecture to production incident response and post-launch stabilization—while delivering roughly 30% gains in retrieval accuracy and latency.”

Director-level Engineering Manager specializing in AI platforms, FinTech, and Healthtech

Santa Clara, CA24y exp

“Serial entrepreneur building three distinct products: a context-aware AI chatbot, a connected TV companion-screen platform with an implementation client, and gamerogue.net, a mobile-optimized web-based virtual tabletop marketplace currently seeking funding. Brings hands-on fundraising experience, familiarity with the VC/accelerator ecosystem including YC, and a notably pragmatic approach to validating ideas based on existing market demand rather than speculative adoption.”

“Full-stack engineer with experience spanning a small healthcare startup and Groupon-scale personalization systems. Stands out for building HIPAA-compliant healthcare workflows end-to-end while also shipping recommendation and LLM-enabled platforms used by millions, with strong depth in React/Next.js, Node.js, Python, AWS, and scalable event-driven architecture.”

“Backend engineer currently at Citigroup working on real-time transaction processing systems with Kafka. Stands out for using AI tools pragmatically in a regulated banking environment to improve debugging, testing, and developer productivity while keeping human control over architecture, security, and performance decisions.”

“Backend engineer with experience building and modernizing high-volume healthcare transaction systems, including migrating Java services to Spring Boot microservices and adopting Kafka-based event-driven architectures. Strong focus on production reliability and operability (observability, CI/CD, standardized patterns) plus security (OAuth/JWT, RBAC, Postgres/Supabase RLS) and resilient stream processing (idempotency, DLQs).”

“Frontend engineer at Mailchimp who leads end-to-end React/TypeScript features on the in-app homepage, including onboarding and campaign discovery components. Demonstrated measurable performance impact by cutting homepage LCP by ~2.5s and successfully shipped a major feature on an accelerated deadline using structured QA and staged rollout.”

“Software engineer with strong full-stack and platform experience (TypeScript/React/Node.js) who has built real-time analytics dashboards and microservices using RabbitMQ. Demonstrates production-minded decision-making under launch pressure (manual fallback for payment-impacting third-party API issues) and has delivered internal DevOps tooling that automates compliance checks via GitHub/Jira integrations.”

“Full-stack engineer who built and owned an internal analytics dashboard for sales (React/TypeScript + Node/Express + NoSQL), delivering it two weeks early with zero production issues and a reported 10% sales-efficiency lift. Experienced with microservices and async messaging patterns (retries/DLQs/idempotency), and emphasizes rapid iteration with strong CI/CD and automated testing plus user-driven adoption.”

“Cloud-native integration engineer (Oracle/OCI) with strong production deployment and incident-response experience, including API gateway rollouts, observability (Prometheus/Grafana), and multi-layer debugging for payments systems.
